China is a country of poetry. The Book of Songs, Han Fu, Tang poetry and Song lyrics have become indelible cultural memories in our hearts. Everyone knows that Li Shangyin was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. He was as famous as Du Mu and was known as Little Li Du. Li Shangyin's poetic style is gorgeous and his writing is beautiful. However, his poems often have vague themes and are considered to be ancient hazy poems. There have been different opinions for thousands of years.
When modern people interpret Li Shangyin's poems, they often adopt a simplistic and superficial way of interpretation, simply understanding Li Shangyin's poems as love poems. This approach is very inappropriate in my opinion. I am a real swimming cat. Follow the editor and enjoy the untitled poems of the famous poet Li Li Shangyin. The editor believes that these untitled poems not only describe love, but also have implicit meanings.
Let's take Li Shangyin's "Untitled No. 1" as an example: What comes is empty words and disappears, the moon is setting at five o'clock upstairs. The dream is so far away that it is difficult to recall it, and the book is hastily turned into ink. The wax illuminates the half cage of golden jade, and the musk smoke slightly embroiders the hibiscus. Liu Lang already hated Pengshan for being far away, and even more so because he was separated by 10,000 layers of Pengshan.
This poem is generally regarded as a masterpiece describing love and lovesickness. Many poetry reviews regard this poem as just an expression of love. But upon closer inspection, it is by no means that simple. When Li Shangyin wrote this poem, he must have had a psychological presupposition. He regarded himself as the poor man who could not get love, which actually embodied the meaning of the court. He complained that Linghu Gui was unwilling to support him. He lamented that Linghu Xiu and himself were "so close but so distant".
Zhou Zhenfu explained very well: "At that time, the author lived in Linghu Gui's house. Although his relationship with Gui had improved somewhat, Gui, as the prime minister, was dissatisfied with the author's entry into Wang Maoyuan's reign. He refused to receive him. He came to the court at five o'clock and did not come to see him. Therefore, there was a feeling that he had come to the court with empty words and left without a trace. The house is richly furnished, with emerald quilts and hibiscus mattresses. In his dream, he cried for the long distance. Since the house has disappeared, it is difficult to bring him back. This distance is farther than Pengshan. Wan Zhong. It used to be that before he became the prime minister, he was as far away as Pengshan, and it was difficult to get close to him. Now that he has become the prime minister, he is even more distant than the other officials."
This should be the explanation. The editor deeply agrees with Li Shangyin’s original intention. If you simply interpret this poem as a lament for hopeless love, you will simply underestimate Li Shangyin and ignore the long tradition of sustenance in Chinese literature. The editor will analyze it in detail below.
